State election results: AfD 32.8%, CDU 23.6%, BSW 15.8%, Left Party 13.1%, SPD 6.1%. Participation of AfD or Left Party is necessary for a government majority.

No coalition or cooperation with AfD.

Thuringia State Elections: CDU's Coalition Talks with the ... Hard-Left

The CDU in Thuringia has announced preliminary talks with left-wing parties BSW and SPD after the regional vote. The far-right AfD emerged as the winner and centrist parties were squeezed. The 'cordon sanitaire' limits coalition options, but CDU regional leader and officials will lead the negotiations. Regional governments have decision-making power on both local and national issues. The talks are not formal coalition or exploratory talks, according to the CDU executive. National CDU leader Merz has reaffirmed the rejection of alliances with AfD and Linke. The CDU faces a dilemma as it is the only party from the center that still plays a significant role in Thuringia. The party aims to hold onto its decision to not form coalitions or cooperate with AfD and Linke. The situation in Thuringia will require careful consideration of potential cooperation with the available parties. The CDU must find a solution as the party that was elected to govern the region. The talks may lead to unexpected outcomes as parties explore different possibilities. The CDU's rejection of working with the AfD is based on the fact that the AfD, led by Björn Höcke, has gained significant support and is considered a right-wing extremist party. The CDU also has reservations about working with the Linken party, which ruled Thuringia for many years and was soundly defeated in the election. The CDU will need to carefully consider the potential for cooperation with the available parties and find a solution that works for the region.

Challenges in Forming Coalitions after Elections in Saxony and ... Thuringia

The Federal CDU rejects coalitions with the party of Sahra Wagenknecht. Manipulations of postal votes in favor of the party 'Freie Sachsen' were discovered in Saxony. The outcome of the elections in Saxony and Thuringia could make it more difficult to attract foreign skilled workers. The handling of objections by the population in Saxony is criticized by a Jewish restaurateur. The queer community in Leipzig is feeling under pressure. Former President of the Bundestag urges parties to bring solutions closer for issues such as migration and internal security. The CDU faces resistance within the party against a coalition with the BSW. CDU politicians like Frank Sarfeld and Roderich Kiesewetter are calling for an incompatibility clause. The CDU in Thuringia voted in favor of starting talks with the BSW for a possible coalition. The CDU in Saxony is also considering a coalition with the BSW as a possible option. However, prominent CDU politicians like Dennis Radtke and Monica Wüllner warn against such a coalition, as they believe that the BSW undermines democratic values. CDU leader Friedrich Merz supports the CDU leaders in both states and believes that they will handle the government formation responsibly. The future of coalitions in Saxony and Thuringia is still uncertain, and discussions are ongoing.

Incompatible with the Left? CDU squirms under self-imposed shackles The state election in Thuringia ends with great disillusionment.

But that's where it gets complicated. Back then, in December 2018, the matter was completely clear for the CDU. The delegates unanimously adopted the resolution at the party conference in Hambu..
